For the celestial mage, it is much better if her best friend wasn’t aware of her conversation with the Titania about their relationship. What is he going to think if he hears Erza teasing Lucy to him? Is he going to think that Lucy have a thing for him? Of course, no! Well, that’s what she and people think but, who knows? He might really think that Lucy has a special feeling for him not only as bestfriend and team partner —- deeper than that. People see Natsu as an immature and naïve guy. ‘Love’ or having a girlfriend is the very lease thing that they expect from the dragon slayer but in Lucy’s own opinion, Natsu was really not naïve about those kinds of stuffs. No one knows what’s running inside his mind, right?
“Oh please no!” that’s what she replied at Erza’s statement. But Erza actually got a point. Maybe they really are trying to listen OR listening right now so, she must be really careful if she doesn’t want the makes to hear their conversation. “Then, let’s just keep our voices low.” She suggested. Huffing, Lucy started complaining. “Why should the men’s bath be in the other side of female’s bath? This spring is nice except for the location of the male and female’s bath.” Lucy stopped complaining and turned her gaze at Erza and blinked once at the mention about the special day for everyone especially for the couples —- Valentine’s Day. “Now that you mentioned it…Valentine’s day is almost here” She replied. The celestial mage tilted her head at her question as a ‘no one’ answer. “No one” Yep, another Valentine’s Day with no Valentine’s Date like last year, last, last year, last, last, last year, every year! Just thinking about it made the female blonde sighed. “To be honest, I wish I have. I want to feel the feeling of having a Valentine’s date. How about you?”
{ One should not underestimate the heart of a salamander. Despite his idiocy and abrasiveness, Natsu has an enormous heart; capable to love in many ways. The way of his thinking is unpredictable, but, the scarlet female was observant; he would notice his stance around Lucy, the way he saved the celestial mage and helped her through her hardship was a huge proof of his unconditional love for the blonde. Though the way he would convey his feelings for her was in the most queer manner “We all know that Natsu has a good hearing.” a remark sardonically she expressed; intended for teasing purposes, no matter how much they lower their voice, he surely had a good perception for auditory. }
{ Grabbing the scrubber provided on the hot spring, the knight began to rub her outer anterior, the material would cascade around her body. Meanwhile, the blonde started the conversation in regards to Valentines day; she would pause her scouring. Ah, the day where everyone would act romantically; just like that one novel she read, it was mature yet it has become the root of feeling her jealousy. She assumed that for this coming Valentines, Natsu will surely ask the blonde; albeit, everyone is probably going to encourage him due to his oblivion. The question she has given would be reciprocated to her “I remember last time, I had a date.” a penny for thoughts, that was quite random of her to brought it up, putting how she celebrated the event last time into account; the thought somehow made her blush, followed by a heave of sigh. If ever Lucy’s curiosity was tickled, storytelling would require courage (to prevent herself from getting flustered) “Anyways, I’m sure this year would be different for you.” a reassurance was given to her friend. “By the way, mind scrubbing my back for me? I’ll return the favor to you.” she handed the scrubber as she requested, upon noticing her unfinished cleansing. }
“I CARE!!” Oh, SHE CARES? Why is it she don’t want him to hear their conversation about it? Is she embarrassed or maybe she has other reason? Who knows? A sigh escaped from the celestial mage’s lips and folded her two arms together.
Oh boy, here goes Erza started asking ‘teasing’ question. It appears that, the Titania was in mood in teasing and asking the female blonde about her relationship with the certain dragon slayer. “What am I going to spill out? I already told you that we’re still the same.” Another sigh escaped from the blonde’s lips and muttered, “We’re just best friends and team partners, you know? That’s all” Then again, nothing can be heard but silence around there. In the other side of female’s bath, Lucy noticed that it’s too quiet there as well. She wondered if Natsu and Gray are still there. What she expected is that, she’s going to hear male voices arguing like they always do that’s why; she’s quite surprised that she’s not hearing anything. That’s good then. “You know Erza, I noticed that it was too quiet in male’s bath. I mean, this time, Gray and Natsu are arguing. That’s rare” she stated. “I guess they are not in mood for fighting because of the relaxing warm water. That’s good then”
{ It was obvious how the blonde was affected by these questions. If ever Natsu were to hear their conversation, it matters to her? Despite the shallowness of their conversation, the topic somehow tickled her interest. Even if the celestial mage would deny it so many times, Erza was well-aware of how the two (Natsu and Lucy) developed so much depth in their relationship. It was amusing to watch them progress; being a match-maker was so out of the blue for the Titania, howbeit, it was Mirajane’s job to do the set-up; for once, she had finally express fascination on topics like romance. Unbeknownst to people, she was keen on novels filled with erotic contents. She was a hopeless romantic. Being with Natsu since childhood, she knows him very well and if she were to pick an amorous match for him, her first choice would be Lucy. }
{ Hearing the other female’s remark in regards to the quietude on the other side of the spring, the knight could not disprove her statement as it was filled with truth; perhaps, Natsu and Gray were probably eavesdropping their conversation right at this moment “They’re probably listening to what we’re saying right at this moment.” she replied, stating her assumption. }
{ A sudden thought crept over her mind, valentines. The event was somehow mandatory for everyone in Magnolia “Lucy, do you have a date for Valentines day?” the scarlet woman questioned. A smile would exude through the parted tiers as she shot her query. }
She stretched her right arm upwards, left hand holding the other’s elbow. “Haa~ it feels like the pain in my body is vanishing. I heard that this water can make body’s pain disappear and is good for the skin. Nice huh? Good thing we got that reward.” That’s right. Hotspring ticket was one of the reward their got from their latest mission. How lucky they were! Lucy dropped her arms down and placed them into her thigh after hearing Erza’s question. “Eh?” she reacted.
It appears that the conversation they are going to start is about ‘Natsu and Lucy’s relationship’ topic —- maybe. Since the dragon slayer and the ice mage are just at the other side of female’s hotspring, there is a possibility that they might hear their conversation so, better be careful not to speak too loud! “It’s just the same. He’s always hanging in my apartment with Happy annoying me, touching my stuffs without my permission and bothering me whenever I’m writing my novel. Same old story.” She replied, followed by a soft sigh. “You know, I don’t get him. Of all the girls in the guild, why in the world am I the only one he and Happy likes annoying and making fun of? Mou~ Sometimes, I can’t get privacy. Thanks to him and Happy.” Even though she said that, there’s a feeling of happiness and joy inside of her. Besides, she is already used to them so sometimes, she doesn’t mind. Just don’t he dare burn her stuffs or else, Lucy is going to snap out.
{ Another sigh of relief escaped through the roseate tiers, hearing the commendation from the celestial mage’s wordings, the knight simply agreed to her statement “Indeed, it’s nice. Kinda like all the bad energy from out body was washed away, vaporized into the air.” it was indeed a great prize for them; the air of relaxation have removed all the vex in her mind. Seems like what she felt was similar to her blonde friend. }
{ A grin would crawl over her features after she heard the response made by Lucy. Seems like she was feigning oblivion. The scarlet woman was in the mood for teasing, therefore, she had to push the continuation of this subject; girl talk was her thing. Despite the manly demeanor the knight have displayed, she had her feminine streak that one would rarely witness. Of course, Lucy was one of the lucky people who’d be able to see her cheerful personality, this bathing session was a great opportunity to develop their friendship “Who cares if he hears us? Natsu would actually become aware of what you see him as if ever you speak up your mind right at this moment” she had no problems of the salamander hearing them; after all, he could not retort a word at this moment since he was on the other side of the hot spring “Now, spill it Lucy! Don’t be shy.” uttered the female sardonically, a forceful intonation was bounded with her vocals; persuading the blonde to share her story. }
Lucy looked at the direction of the voice who just called her attention. At her call, the celestial mage moved forward on the hot spring and removed her towel around her body. After removing her towel and now is completely naked, she went on the hot spring and soaked in the warm water of the hot spring. Just feeling the warm water touching the skin of her body makes her smile and feel relaxed. It’s like; she already regained all of her magical power. But what made her feel more relaxed was the natural scenery of the hot spring with warm water and the peacefulness of the surroundings. No other people. Only the two of them and that is a good thing because they can talk about their secrets freely and without any worries. That if they have a secret that they don’t want to reveal. No Natsu, No Gray! No two idiots who kept on making noise by arguing and fighting all the time over a simple matter and sometimes, with no reason.
Now not the two lovely fairies are already relaxing in the hot spring, what kind of conversation should they have or how should they start? ‘Hi’? ‘Hello’? ‘How are you’? That’s weird. They can’t stay quiet there forever! So, Lucy started thinking on how to start their conversation. For a while, nothing can be heard but silence. The silence broke when the blonde started to speak. “Aahh~ feels good” she said. “I’m glad I got a chance to relax in the hot spring again. It’s been a while since I relaxed in a hot spring. I can’t relax in the guild too much—- even in my apartment. But I’m not saying that I don’t like hanging out in the guild. I love hanging out there so, don’t get the wrong idea.” It’s not like she was saying that being in the guild is not relaxing. What she meant by that was, she couldn’t relax PEACEFULLY because of the daily ‘riot’ inside their guild.
{The water flowing was refreshing. She began to fully submerge half of her body on the warm liquid, exhaling a calm breath as she was dipped. For a moment, she could not think of any subject to talk with to the celestial mage, silence brewed in for a moment. Solemnity would take over the atmosphere; no one would actually be able to break the quietness since there’s just the two of them. No one could interfere nor make some noise. It would’ve been better if Natsu and Gray was around but having a leisure time with the blonde was something to be cherished; of course, she knew the tendencies of her friend getting intimidated by her presence from time to time, especially when she’s dragged into situations that involves the salamander. }
{Drip, drop, drip, drop. As the moment of silence gradually passed by, Erza began to toy with the water; swirling the liquid using her bare fingers. Finally, as the blonde began to break the taciturnity, she nodded in agreement to her statement “Indeed it is, it’s rare to have girly sessions with you, since Gray and Natsu always gets in our way.” digits made it’s way through the crimson tresses, lifting a thin strands as she rearranged the locks on her rear “So — how’s it going with Natsu?” her query was stated out of curiosity, at the same time, it was intended to tease Lucy. }
Since I've been experimenting and trying out new things on photoshop, I ended up making these Lucy icons. I've decided to share a few. Feel free to use them at your own preference. If ever you want more just tell me personally, I'd gladly make some.
As Lucy get back into her feet, she patted her clothes to remove the invisible dust on her clothes. "Yes, I'm fine" she replied. After dusting off her clothes, she folded her arms and let out a soft sigh. "Sorry for the noises I made. I accidentally bumped into table and tripped while running." Lucy scanned around the area and she didn't see Natsu anywhere. "I lost sight of him." she muttered as she face palmed.
{It was unlikely for the celestial mage’s clumsiness to commence, since she was usually prim and formal; she always loose her temper when she’s dragged on the troublesome situations the salamander puts her through. She heaved out a sigh, aware of the occurrence the blonde got into. }
A job well done! Well done in successfully finishing their mission AND well done in leaving some destruction at the location where their mission took place – as usual. It didn’t surprise her because she really had a feeling that it is going to happen again. The good thing was that, the slight destruction they left is nothing compared to their last mission. Remembering what happened to their mission last mission made her let out a soft sigh. But at least now she with her team was at a beautiful hot spring resort. They entered all together but of course they parted ways as they got inside and went inside their respective room. Lucy and Erza obviously entered inside the females’ preparatory room while Natsu and Gray went inside the males’ preparatory room. They can’t go inside together! They have opposite gender that’s why, it is not right if all of them went inside the room, remove their clothes and soak in the hot spring together. They are not married to them so why would she do that? That’s why, Lucy was kind of surprised and still can’t believe after finding out that Erza doesn’t mind if they took a bath all together.
As they went inside the room, Lucy and Erza started preparing themselves for hot spring. She was so excited! It’s been a while since she soaked and have some relaxation in the hotspring with Erza. What her made her more excited is when, she heard that the scenery in the hotspring was so beautiful! The female blonde started removing her clothes when the titania called her attention while saying that she’ll be waiting for her on the hotspring. Wow, she was fast even though she removed her clothes manually. “Okay then. Go ahead!” she replied. When Erza is not on her sight anymore, Lucy continued into removing her clothes. After removing all of her clothes and completely naked, Lucy wrapped her body around a clean bath towel then proceed outside.
Her eyes widened and a smile appeared on her face as she stepped into the hot spring’s area. “Wah~! So beautiful! And the hotspring is so wide too!” she said after seeing the beautiful scenery of the hotspring.
{The female appreciated the view surrounding them, it was refreshing. Mountains, tree, everything was so natural. It felt like forever ever since she felt this relaxed. The knight commenced; gradually dipping her feet into the warm water. She found solace, it was as if all the bad aura was released from her body. A sigh of ease escaped through the parted roseate lips. All she could do was admire the naturally boiling water; she heard that the water in the area was healthy and good for removing bad skin follicles. Digits soothingly made it’s way towards the crown covered in crimson-tresses, momentarily caressing through her locks, checking if ever it was messed; she wouldn’t want her hair to get messy. She stood up; rusette irises began to engage in scrutiny, wondering if the celestial mage was around, still, she was nowhere to be found. Immediately, she sat down on the boulder and dived her body into the water once again. }
{ An ephemeral moments passed by. She heard a girlish squealing, judging by the high pitch of complacence; that voice belonged to no other than Lucy. Her lips curled up into a smile, glad to have her presence around. Erza is definitely looking forward to what’s gonna happen next, spending yet another day of femininity with her gal friend. Albeit, she would’ve preferred to have the salamander and ice mage around; having them around was entertaining, regardless of the troubles they cause. Still, she have grown to accept the eccentric flaws her childhood friends have. It’s time for the girls to dominate the area, no one was around, seems like today was busy and the hot spring is reserved exclusively just for the two of them. }
{ “Lucy!” the scarlet mage hollered calling out to the blonde, tilting her head clockwise; now glancing at Lucy’s direction, she gestured the female to join her in. Astonishment was hinted through her cadence, with a smile registered on her features. }
You there… Freeze! You’re under arrest for being so nice and cute. Copy this message to 10 other blogs that you think are beautiful and deserve it. Keep the game going and make others feel beautiful ♥—
Oh, how clumsy of her. Tripping while running, make her goes 'blag! blag!'. That's not her fault! Something's on the floor and she didn't notice it, making her trip into it and fell over. "Ooww!!" Why was she running anyway? Only one reason. She's catching that annoying dragon slayer who got the novel she was working on. She then heard a familiar voice, so, she looked up just to see that person and there, she spotted Fairytail's Titania. "Erza?"
{So the one who was producing that noise was no other than the celestial wizard, Lucy. That was quite unexpected, she knew the blonde was a modest person. It was unlikely of her, since most irritating sounds she heard were caused by the salamander and his destructive roaring “Uhm, Lucy, are you okay?” a puzzled expressionism was painted across her features as looked down on the female. }
{And once again, Team Natsu have successfully finished a mission. For a celebration of their success, they have all agreed to go on a hot spring. The day was so fine today, the weather was moderately cloudy. It was a perfect time for bathing. After using enormous amount of magic power, it was tiresome. Even for the Titania, who possesses a great magic power, she was exhausted. They checked in a random inn, one that had a good hot spring. }
{ The springs were separated based on their gender. Gray and Natsu had to part ways with her and the celestial mage. She was left with Lucy; the two of them were in a preparatory room, currently changing into their bath outfit; she had to manually remove her article of clothing despite her ability to requip. Finally, after taking her garments off, she wrapped her body in a towel “Lucy, I’ll head off first, I’ll wait for you at the hot spring.” she said, notifying her fellow team mate; now leaving the celestial mage off by herself. }
{ Arriving at the hot spring, she felt the heat spreading; evaporating in the air. It was warmed by the subterranean volcano, it was somewhere in this area. Unwrapping the towel sheltering her body; now fully nude, she stepped into the water, the intensity of hotness somehow radiated through her body “Ah, how relaxing.” she muttered to herself as she sat down on the boulders. Lucy should be with her in a bit. Right now, she’s still waiting for the blonde’s entry so that she can join her. }
